1. Review the exercises and practice sessions you have completed in this course. (Loving Kindness, Subtle mind, Visualization, meditation etc.) Choose two practices that you have determined to be most beneficial. How can you implement these practices in your personal life to foster �mental fitness�? Provide specific examples
Visualization is the most I benefit from because I do have a vivid mind something I didn't know until now especially when I start writing in my journal or just writing on paper. I can actually take myself back to a point in time when I feel the most safe feeling that presence of my Mother and Grand Mother and the smell of something cooking or that smell of fragrance when they hug me or even the sound of a certain program of the television.I can get in stillness and go back in time whenever I need to. another practices that I can benefit from is Meditation is another form of prayer and I can do this any time laying in bed, reading, watch tv, eating, or walking. you dont have to try to impressed GOD or the Higher Power with your prayers a small prayer just thanking GOD for all things is good enough. I'm praying daily sometimes all day long for others as well as myself. Sometimes it can be hard to pray when you have so much on your mind but I will ask GOD to just take this because it's too hard for me to do alone, having that faith will get your through anything.

ReplyDeleteMs. Banks,
ReplyDeleteI too combine meditation with prayer it seems to elevate me to a higher spiritual level. I agree with all that you said, you don't have to try to impress God, only thank Him. Meditation helps my mind to stay clear and centered on what I am doing so it doesn't wonder and my prayers are more focused.
Great post!
